Olympus TG-320 vs Samsung DV300F Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements simply by viewing specs. The photograph below might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-320 and DV300F.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung DV300F to provide you with more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively.
